Are really starting to harm the people by not giving them protection from actual pollution. Instead of going after actual pollution, the EPA is too busy going after the bogeyman of CO2, which is a harmless gas that exists naturally on our planet, much unlike the spill in West Virginia which is actually harmful to people. In this instance, we see how the mis-placed priorities of the EPA have actually caused harm to people now. This is proof positive that its time to get rid of the EPA and start over from scratch with an organization that is not going to waste our money on the following frivolous things:

1) Regulating things that are naturally occurring gases that nature emits more of than man.

2) giving lectures to green groups and eco-loons telling them how to sue the Government.

3) Giving away their funds to green lawyers who successfully sue the Government.

4) Going after random industries and giving a pass to others based on political considerations.

5) Arranging secret meetings to discuss with green groups the best way to defraud our Government.

Most of this is explicitly illegal, and just like the IRS scandal, its probably going to result in no one going to jail under a corrupt administration that does not believe in sending those guilty to jail. We deserve this Government in the end, and we deserve what it does because we elected a Chicago style politician to office twice. Its no surprise than that corruption like this is so rampant throughout Government, the only question is, what are we going to do about it? Are we the people going to accept a Government involved in RICO violations and a wastage of our money to special interest groups? Or are we going to put a stop to it?

Not just a blight on the landscape, but the materials used create their own environmental hazards. It could easily have been gas power, using much less land and materials, like the one we have in Broome. An idyll blighted by 18,000 solar panels: Seen from the sky, the reality of alternative energy

Row after row, this astonishing array of solar panels has completely engulfed an enormous 30-acre field in the heart of the countryside.

As this aerial photograph reveals, acres of beautiful Hampshire countryside have been blighted as a result, by 18,000 solar panels. The solar farm covers a staggering 30 acres of land creating a massive eyesore in the centre of an otherwise picturesque view.

Global Temperatures Highest in 4,000 Years The modern rise that has recreated the temperatures of 5,000 years ago is occurring at an exceedingly rapid clip on a geological time scale, appearing in graphs in the new paper as a sharp vertical spike. — Justin Gillis, New York Times, March 7th

The modern environmental movement is one of the off-shoots of global warming that I always poke fun at indirectly, but one of the most important aspects of the movement is what it does. At first, the movement was a collection of people who in their heart probably thought they were doing the right thing and at the beginning they indeed had causes such as cleaning up our respective nations and making our environment cleaner. But over time there comes a point where technology can do no better and where the movement turns to stagnation. This is where we are today with the environmental movement turning into stagnation and instead of using facts uses emotional tirades to prove its points.

Given the high profile story today about the 49 NASA astronauts, engineers, and scientists who wrote a scathing letter to NASA director Charles Bolden, Jr. saying Jim Hansen and NASA GISS are exemplifying the “wrong stuff”, I thought I’d share this poster contributed by WUWT reader NickFromNYC:

There is always a time for every action under the sun. Just like creation, destruction is a part of life. Our duty as rational people however is to keep these two opposing forms in check in some matter. To put in bluntly: The mistakes of civilizations that killed themselves off due to policies of death or wanton destruction are especially keen. These civilizations instead of innovating and creating simply put destroyed themselves through neglect and/or forced and wanton destruction. This is also seen today with the policy of killing off our modern society with laws that will have only one logical conclusion: the destruction of Western Civilization.

I am going to post this famous line: “The road to hell is paved with good intentions.”
